I have multiple RPis. I disagree about them being particularly usable even for everyday use though. (I use a RPi 4 for a lot of stuff like as a secondary thing to have streams up and free up resources on the gaming system when actually gaming for example. It's painfully sluggish and actually...

Yeah, makes sense. Honestly my suspicion from the very start was that even if it could be done it wouldn't be worth it. Still, it was a slight curiosity. Speculative execution is becoming such a problem recently with a new exploit almost ever day now it feels like and each time the solution...

Gotcha. The L1/L2 prefetch thing seems to have not affected most gaming, but one thing may have gone very badly because of it. (Need to try before and after tests to be sure.) Honestly I don't think turning either off would affect any of the security issues going around though anyway. I just...

So this may sound crazy. But almost by the day now it seems like new exploits involving speculative execution are found. Since AMD seems to rely on MB manufacturers for microcode updates (and even then it takes a while besides) I actually started wondering: is it even possible and, if so, how...

Do bear in mind that AMD from Zen 2 on up doesn't really use the OS to manage the CPU very much. I think Intel will eventually figure out that they need the same design (Raptor Lake should never have been made without it -- it's a good design principle, but needs the SoC to control its...

First thing I did upon getting the motherboard was update it. I find it's best to do that before even installing things where possible. I actually had updated it again not that long ago again (and forgot to save my settings so had to redo them all since the BIOS flasher for this board...

So, first of all, my system specs in case it matters: CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X currently set to run at a fixed 4.4GHz. And of course the RAM: Mushkin Redline Lumina DDR4 4000MHz (PC4-32000) 1.35V To begin with I want to explain the situation. TLD[n]R people skip down please rather than complain...

Sorry, it took me a bit to get to try this. It seems creating a new account and logging in as that account still yields the exact same error when attempting to encrypt something. I still suspect it's an issue with the key store or something along those lines, but don't know enough of the inner...

So I'm suddenly running into a strange problem. Any time I attempt to set a file or directory to be encrypted, Windows says it is unable to encrypt because "the directory name is invalid." The strange thing is, if I create a file on a root of a partition -- say C:\test.fil -- and attempt to...

Oh, ok. That is an important point of clarity since burning fuses to make effectively permanent changes is an actual thing in some electronics. Ok. It's probably beyond me to do any of the extras (I do have the QMK build environment already setup, but I don't know about making major firmware...

I would definitely have no idea how I would go about doing that. Well, I've been using VIA and QMK. I don't know the precise details, but they do establish a more "open" bootloader that has a few bonuses versus what such devices tend to ship with like being able to enter flash mode by holding...

I have an Idobo75 clone based on the ATMega32U4. I'm still not sure exactly what happened, but during an improper shutdown (my fault I 100% admit!) it stopped working with my computers, yet, interestingly enough still functioned enough to do things like switch layers (I have it programmed to...

I think I found the solution and it's sort of connected (indirectly) to the lower load resulting in lower frequencies thing. There is an option in my BIOS called "uncore OC" which is sort of a misnomer since it doesn't actually OC. It forces the uncore frequency to remain fixed at its base...

Already did. Again. I am asking what it would be. C-states are disabled. PBO is disabled. Frequency and voltage are manually configured. PSS is disabled. This is why the so called one and a half paragraph "wall of text" exists -- I already stated all this.

I'm literally asking what.

Which, as I said, I already did. Something seems to be overriding it.

Got any specifics to that claim? First, I can't replace it. No money. Second, it's a pretty decent board so really shouldn't be likely to necessarily be beyond hope. Third, I don't really like "solutions" where the problem isn't addressed or fixed and merely traded for another problem or...

So I tested with all stock and still got the issues. The closer to stock, it seems the more I see of hitching and stuff. I may have pinned something down actually. Along the way of messing with all this I actually also found an option in the overclocking menu that would let me limit the...

I'm not. That's part of why I kept the original post so simple and didn't go into all that. I realize what the defaults are and it took a lot of time and effort to find what I consider the perfect balance, even if it is slightly below the stock boost.

That's fine. I get where you're coming from. Just, atm I basically am setting them to not be limiting anything until I'm given some sort of reason to do so.

I tried to look over it, but it's three pages of discussing a wildly unrelated issue, so I struggled to find anything relevant mixed in there. What I can say is that -- at least at the more limited frequency I'm using and lowered voltage and all -- my CPU is definitely not running into any...

Well, I actually have a boost limit set to -250 (I found that the AMD Overclocking section has an option to change it to negative whereas the normal PBO settings do not for some reason.) That keeps it under the point of the voltage curve where the voltage shoots up fast, thus keeping heat...

Yeah, I did do that already. It's more like a suspect some bad design or something that just plain doesn't work right in this specific setup somehow though. For example, since turning off swap seemed to make a difference both in performance and actual in-game visuals (namely that texture...

So I just wanted to make a quick check. Is there any reason I should limit any of the PBO settings as long as the cooler and everything is keeping up? To explain more specifically, basically I have a pretty good third party cooler and my CPU is underclocked just a little (5600X with max boost...

I don't really have enough money even to buy a PSU to return. It's also risky that something could go wrong in regards to the return process and I could get stuck with the cost and no return (rare, I know, but still, the possibility is non-zero.) I guess at some point I really do need to buy a...

Well, I don't know for sure about just a brand as a whole so specifically doing such a thing, but FWIW, the RAM I am using right now is indeed Mushkin. I don't think you can look at brand only even in this though -- especially since Mushkin doesn't make the actual chips (off the top of my head...

That is just about as unhelpful and inappropriate as a response as it gets. To be perfectly frank, it's borderline actual trolling and I was tempted to outright report it. Besides, to answer you more directly, I don't like the direction Intel is going anyway. AMD has been striking a better...

So far with no swap files I've only ever gotten a crash once in the most extreme situation ever (two things that have basically zero optimizations and generally not so great design running at the same time) and things are indeed generally running better. Empyrion had an interesting issue where...

Ok, ngl, it didn't occur to me to check the chipset given that on a board like this that shouldn't be an issue. I'll take a look at that. Thanks. EDIT: Seems FClock is running at 1800MHz. None of the temperature sensors available in HWInfo are high enough to be a problem. Chipset is only...

I did specify it wasn't just the one game, just that that one was the one I saw it in the most. It's definitely not less than 15 FPS though. They're describing a far more extreme issue than what I'm seeing that is for one game specifically, not something that is in many. As for "more concise"...

I just recently did a system upgrade. Basically all major components. CPU, motherboard, RAM, and GPU. Even tossed in a new PCI-E M.2 SSD for good measure. For the most part the hardware should be able to handle pretty much anything with reasonable quality settings, but I'm having issues with...

I see. When I considered AMD vs nVidia that was one aspect it never occurred to me to consider. I don't like it when anything is too locked down, be it a video card or a smartphone or just whatever. It's always good for people to have the ability to exert more control over their devices (just...

I do want to seriously thank the people who actually tried to help. I guess the final conclusion is nVidia has too well protected the card firmwares to actually be able to do such a thing. That seriously sucks, but with the whole mining crap going on and forcing them to take extreme measures I...

Several reasons. But, more importantly: Every time I ask for help with something unusual this happens. But if it were a normal thing I wouldn't need help with it. I realize not everyone agrees. I realize that from most people's points of view this is wrong. Can we skip this part for now...

I didn't say what specific card. Not sure it's applicable since I'm more specifically wondering about a more generic way of doing it, but it is their 3060 Ti LHR model. (So I guess applicable in terms of if there is a miner specific firmware it presumably wouldn't be compatible.) I can't...

So let me preface this for the thread skimmers with the fact that I already know this has a lot of potential major disadvantages including the fact that a card could be effectively rendered bricked if one really really screwed up. I'd like to not spend a week arguing with someone explaining why...

*Bump* Turns out the top right corner actually does do it too. The fact it does it on the bottom left makes me think it definitely isn't the Windows widget thing though. EDIT: To the response below, I'm waiting until the problem duplicates since I have no idea when it last happened. I'll...

So recently I reinstalled Windows 8.1 on this system (no I'm not going to use 10 on it, let's skip that discussion thanks.) Since the reinstall I've been fighting with a really irritating bug that crops up kind of randomly. About every three boots or so something or other happens where if I...
